A hitch is like a mini-curl/come-back route. And those aren't thrown against a CB sitting on the route. And to compound it Kirk was under pressure and didn't see the throw.

Lesson learned. Turn that route down next time this situation or similar occurs.

See post #59. According to Cooley, it was more than a simple hitch.

Based on the analysis, he threw it where the CB would have to come through Grant's body to get the ball.

In other words, he threw it to the one place his guy could get the ball and the defender couldn't. It's either a completion or an incomplete on a hot route if Grant hadn't fallen down.
